I remember seeing a youtube review of this one a while back. From what i remember it runes 4, 8, & 16 bit games really well. It also ran the 2D PSX games pretty decently too. For 20-30 dollars I don't think it's that bad of a deal since it has better build quality than other cheepie systems at that price range.

Freaking Eachgame!

I thought I was getting in on this 'just in time' before the deal had ended yesterday, some of the models were already 'sold out' before I put my order in. But when I checked the scare buying page today I see them all back on sale for another 3 days, along with some ps3 controllers for $4-5 and some microSD -> USB adapters for $0! I guess they 'found' some extra stock, huh?

Ah well, I'm not very mad, hopefully having so many people playing with these will drum up more interest in linux for spmp8k devices.

OK...I'm confused.

I'm probably missing the point here...but it appears that you're mad that Eachgame have additional stock of a product you already purchased.

If they'd dropped the price after you purchased, I'd understand.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Arrived today.

Pack included:
- EGP1000 unit
- Cloth carry bag
- Headphones
- 2xDVDs with PSX games
- TV cable
- USB cable
- Wall charger
- Instruction manual

First impressions:
- Build quality is surprisingly good. It actually feels more solid than my JXD S5110!
- Buttons feel nice. Not too spongy, not too stiff.
- The screen is definitely bright enough, with decent viewing angles. Again, slightly better than my JXD S5110. That's not really a fair comparison though, as this isn't a touch screen.
- Camera is awful, but that's to be expected.
- SNES, GBA, and PSX (2D) games run beautifully (haven't tried any 3D games, but know these run pretty badly).
- Volume buttons don't seem to respond very promptly when playing games, which can be frustrating as the speakers on this thing are damn loud!
- There's no obvious way to exit a game once you have started playing, except for the reset button.
- A bunch of games came pre-installed. Mostly GBA games, but some pretty good PSX games (Street Fighter Alpha 3, Metal Slug X). But there were also some really weirdly labelled SNES games (no idea what they are!).

Overall, I am totally surprised by how well made this product is. Of course, it'll never compete with any modern device; but for the price, this is really quite amazing.

Glad to hear that

I am not counting on it, but ... do games with special chips work in the snes emulator?

ClawShrimp · « **Reply #25 on:** December 13, 2012, 01:12:22 pm »

Hmm...not sure. Do you have any particular games in mind?

I'm more than happy to test.

onthebridge · « **Reply #26 on:** December 13, 2012, 01:31:55 pm »

Starfox and Mario rpg come to my mind

I was mad because they had the website set up to make it look like their stock was running out faster than it actually was, trying to get people to put in an order without hesitation. "Scare buying" indeed!

Glad to hear it comes with a carry bag and other goodies. Most of the game players on eachgame have pictures of the box and pack-ins, but this one only had pictures of the device itself, and no mention of accessories in the product description. I was a bit afraid it would be just a bare system delivered in a generic packing box!

Now I'm itching to try it out, hope it doesn't take much longer to ship to the US than to Australia. Did you use regular airmail or one of the expidited shipping methods?

ClawShrimp · « **Reply #28 on:** December 14, 2012, 08:00:34 am »

@onthebridge - I haven't had a chance to test those ROMs yet (still at work), but will when I get home.

@MightyJAK - I used the cheapest possible postage option...so I'm a little surprised it arrived so soon. Having said that, everything else I've bought from EachGame in the past has arrived pretty quickly too.

I also tested a handful of AVIs on the device, and they played beautifully. So that's .MOV and .AVI that work without problems. Not sure about other formats.

Finally, I realise now that the volume buttons aren't unresponsive. It's just that the volume increments are incredibly small. Each button press makes only a very small difference.

bamboori · « **Reply #29 on:** December 14, 2012, 11:58:44 pm »

Then what i would do if i had one is replacing the volume buttons with a mouse wheel.
How i understand it many mousewheels register one digital connection per scroll-"element".

ClawShrimp · « **Reply #30 on:** December 15, 2012, 04:18:51 am »

I think I've figured the volume controls out.

The first button press 'activates' volume controls. It's only on the second button press that the volume actually stars to change. Thankfully, this can be held down instead of requiring multiple presses.

bamboori · « **Reply #31 on:** December 15, 2012, 10:19:22 am »

Then forget about the mousewheel :p

Hmm, assuming you put your order in around the time you first posted this thread and considering I put in my order on the 6th and got my delivery confirmation email on the 10th, there's a chance I'll be getting mine sometime this week, barring any delays caused my the holiday rush. Too bad the tracking tool on szice.net is broken, I've got no way to tell where exactly my package is until it finally arrives.

Care to take a look at what Uli has just published?

And now thanks to naxeras it's working with cps1, cps2 and neogeo!

He is asking for help, it seems that he needs to extract the original firmware from the console to fix the bugs that his cfw has with the camera and the display.

onthebridge · « **Reply #35 on:** January 06, 2013, 01:32:27 am »

Naxeras has done a great job, thanks to him we are also able to load homebrew in the egp1000. He has made posible to use the homebrew loader that uli has coded for the Actions soc available in several JXD gadgets. Thanks to that we have now an Spectrum emulator and hopefully more will follow.

If you are curious you can see the differences between various ports in his branch of the Xpectrum emulator.

Neat, and a JXD A3300 port too? I'm actually kinda interested in that device, I especially like the unique interface (being one of the few that's not a ripoff of Sony's dashboard), the ergonomic design, and from the few videos I've seen the touchscreen seems to handle at least some flash games decently. So if I'm sufficently pleased with the JXD3000's build quality, I might consider buying some more JXD products.

But I won't be buying them from Eachgame. It's been 4 weeks since my package supposedly shipped, still waiting...

onthebridge · « **Reply #37 on:** January 07, 2013, 04:57:05 pm »

Uli made it originally for the JXD3300 and it seems to work also in JXD3000, JXD5000 and JXD M1000. That also goes to this EGP1000 thanks to Naxeras who has adapted it for this inexpensive machine.

I feel curious about how many people ended buying this handheld or has any of these machines and how difficult would be to port emulators to them. Anyone with enough knowledge care to answer?

It is neat indeed, the spectrum emulator is great

I ordered this on Dec 7th and it arrived today in the U.S. Thanks for the links onthebridge, I'll have to read up on this thing.
Have you installed naxeras's custom firmware?
